Radon Mitigation in Ohio

About Radon in Ohio

High levels of radon have been found in neighborhoods across Ohio. Radon testing and radon mitigation have become more prevalent in the past few years due increased awareness of the impact radon gas has on the air we breathe in our homes and workplaces. Homeowners, realtors, builders and municipalities are issuing guidelines and regulations across the country encouraging testing and mitigation of radon in homes and businesses in Ohio.

At SWAT Environmental, we are committed to protecting family, friends and neighbors in Ohio from radon exposure.

How it works...

1. Have your home tested for radon

2. If the radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), contact SWAT (1-800-667-2366)

3. SWAT will review the project and provide an estimate

4. Schedule your radon mitigation system installation with SWAT

5. Confirm radon levels have declined

Dave C., Ohio – I was really impressed with your company every step of the way. First your professional and timely response to my call. Then the installation went perfectly and as the installer explained what he was doing and how he tested it, it inspired confidence in your product. Thanks, I would recommend you to all my friends.

Leah W., Ohio – They were very efficient and polite. Got it done in less than 2 hours when the quote said it would take 2-4 hours. Cleaned up everything and were thorough. Thanks!

Why Is Radon Mitigation Important?

Radon breaks down into radioactive particles that attach to dust and airborne moisture in your home. When you breathe this contaminated air, these particles lodge in lung tissue where ongoing radioactive decay damages cells at the molecular level. The EPA identifies radon as the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for an estimated 21,000 deaths annually across the United States.

Ohio’s geology produces elevated radon concentrations in many areas across the state. Homes in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and throughout Ohio’s suburban and rural communities frequently record readings above the EPA action level of 4.0 picocuries per liter. Any home may have elevated radon regardless of age, construction quality or neighborhood.

Extended exposure at these levels substantially increases cancer risk for every household member. The risk increases with both concentration level and duration of exposure, making prompt mitigation essential when elevated levels are discovered. Professional radon removal addresses this threat by venting radon before it enters the property.

Advanced Radon Mitigation in Ohio

SWAT Environmental installs radon mitigation systems featuring continuous-duty fans that draw less than 2 amps of electricity. These fans are warranted for five years and typically last much longer with proper operation. The system must run continuously to keep radon levels low.

The fans connect to professionally sealed PVC piping networks that channel radon from beneath your home’s slab or crawlspace, releasing it safely above the roofline where natural air currents disperse it. Our technicians design each system to accommodate your property’s unique characteristics.

Every system includes a manometer that provides instant visual confirmation of proper operation. This U-shaped gauge displays differential pressure readings, allowing you to verify your system maintains adequate suction at a glance. You should check this gauge monthly to confirm the fan continues running properly. Following installation, we provide a DIY radon measurement kit so you can confirm radon levels have dropped to target ranges. We recommend conducting this verification between seven and 30 days after installation to allow your home’s radon levels to stabilize.

Professional Standards and Licensing

Professional radon remediation requires licensed technicians who understand system design, installation techniques and building science principles. SWAT Environmental’s technicians maintain National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) and National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) certification, demonstrating their expertise in radon reduction strategies. This certification requires ongoing education to stay current with evolving mitigation methods, building code updates and EPA guidance on radon control.

Licensed professionals know how to properly route vent pipes, position fans for optimal efficiency and seal foundation penetrations to prevent system failure. They understand which mitigation approach works best for different foundation types and can diagnose challenges that might compromise system performance. This expertise ensures your installation meets industry standards from the start rather than requiring costly corrections later.

Our licensed team ensures your radon mitigation system meets both regulatory requirements and performance expectations that protect your family’s health. Proper installation is critical because mistakes can fail to reduce radon levels adequately or create unintended safety issues. When you work with qualified professionals, you gain confidence that your system will deliver the protection your home needs for years to come.
